About PhoneGuard - Phone Protection
Before Your iPhone Is Gone. Your smartphone has become the master key to your digital life. PhoneGuard helps you make sure you never lose it. Apple Watch required. As soon as your iPhone moves outside the protection range (approx. 10–40 m), your Apple Watch alerts you within seconds. So you can turn back before your iPhone is lost – along with access to your banking, two-factor authentication codes, tickets, and digital keys. How PhoneGuard Protects You - Left-behind alerts - Get warned within seconds if you leave your iPhone behind or forget it somewhere. - Emergency Alarm - Trigger a loud alarm at the touch of a button to attract attention. Even More Convenient with PhoneGuard Pro: Smart Pause - Lock Screen: Turn protection on or off with a single tap. Your protection status is always visible. - Safe Zones in three sizes (e.g., Home): Protection pauses automatically and reactivates when you leave. - Timer: Pause protection for any duration you choose. It automatically reactivates when the timer expires. Founder's Price: PhoneGuard Pro for €9.99/year – less than €1 per month. Cancel anytime before your subscription renews. The Perfect Team: PhoneGuard and Apple “Find My” Apple “Find My” helps you locate, lock, or erase lost or stolen devices. However, its “Notify When Left Behind” feature often takes approximately 5–10 minutes to send an alert when you're walking away, and is primarily designed to help you find your device. PhoneGuard acts earlier, warning you within seconds – before your iPhone is lost. Find My helps after a loss. PhoneGuard helps prevent it. Why PhoneGuard? Around 45% of smartphone users have left their device behind or lost it at least once. Losing your smartphone often means losing far more than just a device – it can mean losing access to almost everything in your digital life. PhoneGuard helps reduce that risk before it becomes a problem. System Requirements iPhone: iPhone SE (2nd generation) or later, running iOS [version to be confirmed] Apple Watch: Apple Watch SE (1st generation) or Series 6 or later, running watchOS [version to be confirmed] Privacy Policy: www.phoneguard-app.com/datenschutz Terms and Conditions: www.phoneguard-app.com/agb
